ExpressVPN is located in the British Virgin Islands. The BVI have a much better legal system than the US and the EU where privacy protection is concerned, which gives this company an edge over many others in that regard. They have an easy-to-use client with plenty of control for power users.

Customer Support

Product Testing

ExpressVPN has a very simple client, but don’t let that lead you to believe that it’s limiting. You can choose from OpenVPN TCP/UDP, L2TP/IPSec, PPTP and SSTP from the Options menu. Selecting a server is easy.
The client performed very well in testing and stacks up impressively against what the other major providers offer.

Speed Test

Baseline Speedtest

ExpressVPN Dallas Speedtest

ExpressVPN LA Speedtest

ExpressVPN kept our speeds comfortably within the parameters for a broadband connection. Connecting to the server was very fast. We tested two servers; the test results for their Dallas server are shown below, as recorded while connected to a speed test server in Washington DC. The baseline test was performed from Albuquerque to the same server in Washington DC over a 50mbps/5mpbs connection.

Areas for Improvement:

This is a solid service. The areas where they could improve are few, including adding more features to their client but, overall, ExpressVPN is very good.

Conclusion:

This is one of the services that should work for just about anyone that needs a VPN. They have four protocols to choose from, a great client and their service works with most any device. This is one of our highly-recommended providers and has been for some time, and for good reason.
